Discbine rattles

CV joint is 2 u-joints close together with a ball & socket in between the 2 u-joints. Photo is a cv driveline for a JD rd baler.

Ah ok, no mine doesn't have one, my inner shaft going to the gearbox used to have one but the previous owner removed it and put a regular u-joint in its place. I was told that cause of that I can't use the Discbine in the retracted position (to steer around corners.)

Is it possible to replace just the end with a cv driveline like it used to be?

But at the moment the shaft going to the tractor is the one vibrating and it's just u-joints not cv.

The reason the PO did away with the CV joint on your Mo-Co is $$$$$$$. They are expensive to repair/replace. It is true that you can no longer operate pto in anything but the field position with CV joint missing.

Yep I priced one out today and wished I didn't, they sell the shaft each side individually, the front part was $2842.03 and the rear part was $3322.31, that's $6306.44 for the whole shaft (OUCH) I will stick to operating it only in field position, just have to figure out why it's rattling so much on steep turns.
